If Earl Li had been here, he would have surely recognized these young male Dolphin Beastmen as the very ones he had hung on the large windmill to creak and spin.
Like thieves, they crept furtively toward the mountain where Su Yu and the others were staying.
The closer they got, the more uneasy the burly Sone felt. He couldn't help but stop, looking hesitantly at Bodun. "Bodun, maybe we should just call this off."
"Those Land Beastman cubs are innocent. We just need to deal with that monster; there's no reason to target them."
"Who says they're innocent? Didn't you see earlier? Their Father is in league with the monster!" Bodun sneered. "Since they're helping that monster, they can't blame us for playing dirty!"
Seeing that Sone was genuinely afraid, he softened his tone to reassure him. "You don't have to be scared. We're just going to grab those cubs to threaten them, to make them kill the monster. We won't actually hurt them."
